Cop was an , but he was right about the violation. I know that won't be a popular statement here, but you can't jack up your brakes like that in front of someone, without a reason. Without knowing anything about the video, that was the first thing I thought when I first watched it. Why did he quick-stop like that? He wanted to get bumped. This was a setup, just for YouTube.

Again, not defending the cop cussing and not acting professional, but there was a violation on the rider's part.

If it were me, I'd have got out of the vehicle, calm and cool, and I'd have written him the ticket. I would not have let him ride off.

Biker had plenty of room to keep cruising. He didn't have to come to a complete stop. He could've kept on. As slow as they were going, the cop should've been able to stop if he were paying attention. Cop was being a . My .02

Cops are trained to always have the upper hand on any situation. I think he was just embarrassed and wanted to get out of there without the biker making a report. Yes the cop should have been able to break at those speeds if he was paying attention.
Was probably running the bike plates.

Rider was in no wrong. He braked because a car on his left signaled to get into his lane. He slowed to let the car in. I prolly would have done the same. This appear to be normal traffic. Cop should've maintained proper following distance and stopped or slowed when necessary. Like everybody else.

Yup... hopefully eitehr the guys contacts the dept. or someone picks it up from youtube and it gets passed up/onto the line.

Apparently the local news is going run with it, and alot of local riders from the forum this was posted on are contacting the department and sorta dive it to the media. Hope this blows up in that cops face.
